Researchers have devised a revolutionary new technique for measuring the microscopic elasticity of materials. Known as SRAS, the technology works by measuring the speed of sound across the material's ...

The study of elasticity and constitutive relations forms a cornerstone in materials science, providing essential insights into how materials respond under various loading conditions. This domain ...

In the world of materials, rigidity and elasticity are usually on opposite ends of the continuum. Typically, the more elastic a material, the less able it is to bear loads and resist forces. The more ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 115, No. 2 (January 9, 2018), pp. E124-E133 (10 pages) Achieving control and tunability of lyotropic materials has ...

While most metals feature some degree of elasticity, some respond better than others to being bent out of shape. Scientists experimenting with the makeup of these materials have developed a novel, ...

Paper has a clock ticking down on it, a select shelf life when not taken care of properly, as evidence by any recent back issue of The Arizona Republic blowing down the side of the road. The material ...

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have developed an environmentally safer type of plastic that can be used for wearable electronics, sensors and other electrical applications. The ...

Plastics, which are polymeric materials composed of long chains of small molecules called monomers, are widely used in everyday life and industry due to their lightweight, good strength and ...

Researchers at the University of Nottingham have devised a revolutionary new technique for measuring the microscopic elasticity of materials for the first time. Known as SRAS, the technology works by ...
